Acts 18:1-23 Paul in Corinth
Leaving Athens, Paul gots to Corinth where he begins to reason in the Synagogue that Jesus is the Messiah.

Acts 17:10-34 Paul in Berea and Athens

Acts 17:1-9 Thessalonica, Nothing New Under The Sun
This has all happened before, and it will continue to happen. What happened? Why does it continue?

Acts 13:44-52 The Apostle Paul is Cancelled!
Cancel Culture is older that we imagined. In this passage, the Apostle Paul and Barnabas are Cancelled by the religious leaders and the social elite of the city for preaching the Truth about Jesus from the Scriptures. But when Paul and Barnabas leave, they leave a bunch of embryonic Christians, God wins!
Acts 13:13-43 Free in the Messiah
